Just make sure you have a bathroom dedicated to yourself for about 3 or 4
hours while you're taking all those laxatives the day before. :(

I have heard hideous rumours about the poor unconscious patients being
injected with compressed air to the degree that they resemble Blimps!

And therefore after the procedure some patients  fly about the room like
escaped party balloons...!!!

At the very least they all suffer from colic and flatulence!

    That is, of course possible.  But since both my wife and brother have
been awake for colonoscopies and their descriptions were of only rather
mild discomfort, I rather doubt it was horrible on any level.
